07 Tooth Grabber

It is said that everyone in the audience was listening attentively to the story told by Ju Xingshi at this time, and in front of the crowd opposite Xie Yixiang, there was a four or five-year-old Han boy, dressed in ordinary clothes, listening to the story with wide eyes, and holding half a leftover pastry in his hand. Beside the little boy, there was a woman in a black robe dressed as a lustful person, shrouded in black robes from head to toe, and her head was also wrapped in a thick black cloth, only a thin slit was opened in the middle, and a pair of eyes were faintly exposed.

If you see such a dress on the streets of the south of the Yangtze River and even the Central Plains, passers-by must be surprised, thinking that it is a night walker or a gangster, but in this Lanzhou city, where half of the population is color-eyed, due to the different customs of various ethnic groups, the dress is also strange, and it is common to dress like this. I saw that the black-robed woman was obviously not listening to the story told by the star priest, but quietly paid attention to the little boy beside her, and then took out a piece of red candy from her pocket and handed it to the little boy.

Looking at the hand stretched out by the black-robed woman, it was also shrouded in long sleeves, and the piece of candy was pinched in her hand through the sleeve. When the little boy saw the candy in front of him, he glared at the black-robed woman, and then turned his head to continue listening to the story. The black-robed woman withdrew the candy in her hand, but took out a piece of green soft cake from her pocket and handed it to the little boy again. This time, the little boy didn't pay attention to it, and there was a trace of disgust on his face, so it seemed that he naturally didn't know the black-robed woman next to him at all.

Unexpectedly, the black-robed woman fumbled in her pocket again, and when she stretched out her long-sleeved hand to the little boy for the third time, the candy in her hand had been replaced by a black hand towel, which covered the little boy's mouth and nose. But in an instant, the little boy struggled slightly, and suddenly his whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground. The black-robed woman reacted very quickly, took the little boy into her arms, turned around and walked out of the crowd.

This scene happened too suddenly, and the black-robed woman's hand towel was naturally coated with drugs, and she was clearly a skilled veteran. Although Xie Yixiang witnessed the whole process with her own eyes, she didn't react for a while, and everyone in the audience was listening to the story of Ju Xingshi at this time, and no one noticed this scene that just happened. It wasn't until the black-robed woman came out of the crowd with the little boy in her arms that Xie Yixiang suddenly woke up and said in her heart, "That woman is a tooth man?"

The so-called "tooth people", commonly known as human traffickers, usually go to poor places to buy women at low prices, and then sell them to large families or brothels at high prices; naturally, there are also acts of buying and selling children, and even more so, they do not hesitate to steal children for sale. Although Xie Yixiang had heard of this for a long time, she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes in Lanzhou City today, although the whole process was only in a short moment, it can really be described by the words "thrilling".

Xie Yixiang immediately bumped out of the crowd, and saw that the black-robed woman who took the little boy had already walked to the corner of the street, and was about to step forward to grab it, but who knew that she was gently pulled by someone, but it was Xian Jingyue who also came out of the crowd and slowly shook her head at her. Xie Yixiang immediately understood what the senior brother meant, just catching the black-robed woman was just a temporary act of kindness, it was better to put a long line to catch a big fish, and follow the black-robed woman to find out the behind-the-scenes den, so as to wipe out this group of tooth people.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and quietly followed the black-robed woman with Xian Jingyue. Although the black-robed woman walked very fast, her steps were frivolous, and she clearly did not know martial arts, but she looked back from time to time along the way, and was obviously extremely cautious. The two cautiously followed behind the black-robed woman, all the way through the large and small deserted alleys in Lanzhou City, and gradually came to the slum area in the north of the city. As far as the eye can see, this urban area is home to poor Han people, which is very different from the prosperous scene that the two of them saw before.

Then two more alleys came to a lonely street, with almost closed doors on either side, except for a few sparse pedestrians who walked lazily down the street, and a few filthy beggars lying in the sun catching lice. The black-robed woman went straight to a room with a closed door, looked around again, and then put the little boy in her arms on the ground, reached into her pocket and touched the key. I don't know if it's because her hands are wrapped in long sleeves, or because she is a little anxious, but the key in her hand has never been able to open the door lock.

At this moment, the little boy who was stunned by her seemed to wake up, and when he saw the unfamiliar scene in front of him, he immediately began to cry. The woman was startled, threw away the key, and took out the drugged handkerchief from her pocket. Xie Yixiang, who was in the distance, couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately flew forward and said loudly: "In broad daylight, you dare to do such an evil deed, it's really bold!" When the words fell, her person had already come to the black-robed woman's side, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she clasped the other party's arm holding the handkerchief.

Xian Jingyue saw that Xie Yixiang finally made a move, and was about to step forward to help, when suddenly she felt a movement in her arms, as if someone had put her hand into her arms to steal. You must know that although he has lost all his martial arts, the reaction of that peerless master is still there, and with a slight raise of his hand, he has already grabbed the wrist of the thief. Unexpectedly, the other party was clearly armed with martial arts, and this side had just been grabbed by Xian Jingyue's wrist, and he immediately used his strength to resolve it, breaking free like a swimming fish.

Xian Jingyue was not flustered, and immediately took a step back sideways, and looked at the thief beside him, but it was a dirty young beggar. Before he could open his mouth to interrogate, several beggars who were originally lying on the side of the street catching lice had surrounded them at the same time, obviously the accomplice of the thief beggar, a total of six people, and in an instant, Xian Jingyue was surrounded to death, and it seemed that all of them were armed with martial arts.

Seeing this sudden change, Xian Jingyue didn't know whether the appearance of these beggars was a coincidence or an accomplice of the black-robed woman. He didn't want to make a fuss, so he clenched his fists and said, "A misunderstanding." But the thief beggar refused to give up, and immediately shouted: "What is the misunderstanding? the son and son of a rich family can bully us poor people at will?" As the words fell, the other five beggars echoed in unison, and at the same time took a step towards Xian Jingyue and squeezed him in the middle.

If these beggars can't steal, so they have to rob openly, this scene is inevitably too coincidental, Xian Jingyue is already seventy or eighty percent sure in his heart, thinking that these beggars are covering for the black-robed woman. At the moment, he didn't want to say more, so he showed his murderous aura directly, and shouted coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Speaking of Xie Yixiang in front, she grabbed the arm of the black-robed woman, and the woman didn't speak, but just screamed randomly, listening to the sound as if she was crying, and the little boy on the ground was also crying at this time. With the shouts of the two of them, the only few pedestrians on the street came to watch, and seeing Xie Yixiang dressed in bright crimson clothes, some pedestrians accused: "How can a rich lady come to a place like mine? Do you think that we poor people are not bullied enough?"

Xie Yixiang didn't dare to offend the anger of the public, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, this woman is clearly a tooth man who steals children. The little boy on the ground was taken captive by her all the way here. For this reason, I followed from the south of the city to the north of the city, and there will be no mistake in the plan. Hearing this, the black-robed woman immediately shook her head desperately, and the onlookers looked at the two of them, with a look of disbelief on their faces, and one of the ragged old women even said: "You say she is a tooth person, she is a tooth person? I don't think you look like a good person!"

You must know that Xie Yixiang is the head catcher of the Jinling Torture Arrest Room, and she has seen a lot of such scenes a long time ago, so how can she be troubled by these pedestrians? At that moment, she grabbed the arm of the black-robed woman and asked the onlookers: "You defend this woman, naturally you know this woman?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but shake their heads, but they immediately retorted: "What does it matter to you whether you recognize you or not? Everyone is a neighbor, and you can't be allowed to bully us poor people!"

Xie Yixiang immediately said sharply: "Okay! Today, I am instructed by Deng Zhutou, Yu Zhutou, and Fugu Zhutou of the Yamen of Lanzhou Prefecture to arrest this woman who stole children. Since you know this woman, you may be an accomplice of the tooth man, so come with me to the yamen!"

As soon as these words came out, two pedestrians hurriedly turned around and left, and the remaining few people also hurriedly waved their hands and said, "I don't know this woman!" Xie Yixiang sneered, and seeing that the black-robed woman still refused to speak, she smiled at the onlookers: "Since you have come, you can't let you run in vain." Anyway, please be a witness for me to see if there are any other things hidden in this woman's house. With that, she kicked the closed door open.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the black-robed woman suddenly screamed and struggled to withdraw the arm that was held by Xie Yixiang. But listening to the sound of "snort", the black-robed woman tore off her sleeves in the struggle, and finally broke free from Xie Yixiang's control, leaving only a large piece of sleeve rags in Xie Yixiang's hands. However, looking at the woman's bare little arms, they were clearly covered with brown and black thick hair, like a layer of woolen clothing, covering all the skin on her arms, and even the five fingers of her palms were covered with thick hairs of inch length.

Where is this human arm? It looks like an orangutan or a big horse monkey's arm! For a moment, Xie Yixiang can be said to be in a state of dissipation, could it be that the "woman" wrapped in a black robe in front of her is actually disguised by a monkey......? How is this possible? She couldn't help but think of the four words that Ning Cui had written on the paper: "Lanzhou Ghost Monkey."
